No Customer Reviews
A politician in the midst of a revolution This book reveals the powerful political figure of Saint-Just and his role in French history. It follows his career during the French Revolution that broke out in 1789. He moved into politics in his twenties as a utopian. He spoke in favor of executing the king of France and was elected to the Committee of Public Safety, the revolutionary government, in 1793. The book looks at how his original desire to improve society became an obsession for scourging a country of its ills. The book traces the path of Saint-Just until his execution in 1794.
